Lantern airport

Close to the airport. Nice Tiki bar. Floors were dirty in the room. Microwave is so high up it’s hard to use. All in all we would stay there again because of the location and bar. Locals show up to have a drink there. Right next to a busy highway.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This is an older property, but is well maintained. Interiors are modern and refurbished. Room was clean and well appointed. As is true for most properties in the area, it is still being repaired after a direct hit from a hurricane, so some maintenance materials are in the back lot. They did not interfere with parking and comfort of the stay. There is a tiki bar onsite for those who are interested. It was well attended while I was there. My only complaint is that the pool is open dawn to dusk. A later close, even say 9:30 pm would have been nice. I was out all day, and would have loved a relaxing swim after.
